Headlight bulbs
Before now I have never realized how freakin hard it is to change the bulbs in a civic...driver's side to be precise...
Is this the case with everyone else or am I just a dumbass?

no its kinda tight in there. let me guess... power steering? the resevoir in the way? pull it up and it will slide out of its bracket, then you can move it out of the way. then you can get the boot off, then the clip and the bulb will pull out. make sure you put the rubber boot back on with the holes pointed down, it lets water drain.

i have the same problem. it helps if you remove the plastic can that is right behind the light. (I don't know what you call it). It's where you fill the power steering fluid. Atleast on my car it is...

That power steering doesn't move out far enough...probably honda folks thought that bulbs live long enough to die with the car...taking out the headlight is probably easier:-D

k, its difficult, but i think you guys are doing something wrong. like no9t9 said, i can do it in about a minute or 2, and my hands arent small either. and as a warning, make sure you remember to put the bottle back on the bracket. we forgot in my bros SI, and it hit the hose on the belt and wore through. and if you have to put PS fluid in, get the Honda specific kind, its mineral oil, not petroleum. most auto parts places sell it.
